Morris Minor Owners Club

I'd leave the Clarke welder well alone I've had two both were a bit rubbish sealey welders are reasonable ive got one at present better feed than Clarke top of the pile hobby migs I'd say are Sip excellent smooth wire feed very controlled amperage. Cebora / snap-on are good but overpriced. I've seen...

Personally I prefer door mirrors fitted to the corner plate as above two advantages unlike wing mounted mirrors you can actually see in them. And you don't have to drill your wings in the event you want rid of them just replace the corner plate. I wish the previous owner of mine hadn't bothered fitt...

BMC clearly hasn't realised 2k had moved on since 1980 modern 2k good quality stuff when cut and polished in fact our local funeral cars are done it.I agree cheap 2k ( binder system ) paint looks plastic a high solid 2k doesn't and is perfectly easy to do blend in repairs with. Celly is just as toxi...

Gasless by its very nature creates a poorer quality weld I think we can say that's a given fact it creates a lot more spatter and needs a lot more tidying up. A gas / gasless MIG is just a gassed one in general it's only the much cheaper welders that are " gasless" probably better advice w...

One afterthought to that if you do eventually buy a mig don't get a gasless one.

Tricky one that if you're lucky you may have a local college that does some sort if evening course its very dependent on what type of welding you want to do mig is obviously the most popular and probably the easiest I'm currently teaching myself tig which gives a much better finish but is less forgi...

It does look as though its gone to the BMC dealers in the sky although it is of course possible that its been stuck in a shed for so long that its not on.the database or that some git has nicked the number to hide the age of there decrepit old Mercedes and its still bounding about the highways on an...

Try the dvla vehicle enquiry site that'll tell you if its still registered if it is try ASkmid the motor insurance database website that will tell you if its currently insured BY THE WAY you're only allowed to search for your own car on Askmid cough cough if you get my meaning nudge wink.

I do my own welding its the only way I can satisfy myself that its been done to my standards I was incredibly lucky and picked up a working spot welded in the local scrapyard for a fiver I say working it needed £3 worth of micro switch replacing. I was shocked when new acquaintance turned up in a ca...

I've already taken the front out I've done those before and never had any problem getting them back in. The secret I've found is a 1978 servis twin tub..... Fill tub set dial to boil place seal in tub for a good ten mins until its good and hot dry quickly fit glass and install. Odd one but it works ...

My floors been in since 1954 hasn't been welded and doesn't flex some.of that welding is none too brilliant I have a deep mistrust and hatred of underseal its a bodge cover. On the subject of the aforementioned specialist another local car was done by them recently at a stupid cost ( you could have ...

Ok so I've taken the side windows out and the front screens can I heck work out how to remove the rear window out does it go inwards or outwards? Its a 1954 with a small rear window seal profile is huge on the inside tiny on the outside.

Do these holes have any purpose?[frame][/frame]

Stripping underseal off rear inner arch its all looking rather healthy.[frame][/frame]

Much previous experience has shown the 1500cc triumph unit is very weak in the crankshaft area if anyone does decide to go down that route check for crankshaft end float.

You might want to search ebay for a reliant robin / kitten clutch kit exactly the same as the 948 minor bit I got a brand new not recon ap Lockheed kit for £50 delivered by searching reliants not minors.

personally I'd wait till much warmer weather as you're going to have to keep it warm while keeping it incredibly well ventilated. I've not used celly in years the modern stuff isn't a patch on what it was and its five times the work of 2k if your going to use cellulose Lechler is exceptionally good ...

HI I'd warm the metal to be painted slightly as well and keep it that way the garage would be best warmed for a couple of days beforehand too. Primer is hydroscopic meaning in damp conditions it soaks up water that's why panels.left in primer get brown staining ( rust ) coming through therefore if y...

This one seems to have just appeared in Carlisle anyone know who owns it.
